Touche’!!
Don't you know it!
If these folks really want to help us, they would invent an ursine ready keyboard.
Modern enlightened acitvists already know that Polar bears cannot survive without Coke. They won’t drink Pepsi.

Thinking of assigning one, each polar bear to homes of wealthy Liberals who have Sub Zero refrigeration equipment.
Looking at that data, I noticed a few interesting things:
The current day comparison of 2007 vs. 2008 coverage is that their is significantly broader coverage of ice in 2008 (today).
Going back and comparing today to 2006 shows VERY slightly more coverage in 2006, but the ice coverage is less dense in 2006.
Going back further shows different patterns of coverage, but still basically the same total coverage.
Check out January 26, 2006 vs. 2008 - more ice and more snow coverage in 2008...
January 2007 vs.2008 - almost identical - very slightly MORE ice in 2008.
So where are these enviroNazis getting their data? The biggest difference is some slightly different changes in pattern - but the total ice coverage has increased date-for-date in the last few years.
Puh-leee everybody knows polar ice melts/shrinks at the North Pole every June - August and at the South Pole every December - February.
What are you some kind of de-ni-er?
Okay. Should be entertaining to watch them round up 30,000 polar bears.
Oh - and February - notice the Bering Sea 2007 vs. 2008 (February 26). A large portion of the Bering Sea is iced up in 2008, while it is more open in 2007.
I did find that October 2006 vs. October 2007 showed a marked decrease in ice coverage... but in a month, the ice rebounded to more coverage in November 2007...
Hehehe... I think what I posted actually verified that the ice (when compared date to date, covers more today (and in the past year) than it did a year ago.
Just remember, this was the summer that the climate experts claimed the Arctic ice caps would be gone. It goes right up with the disastrous 2006 and 2007 hurricane seasons, the massive sea level rise sinking Florida and many other things.
BTW - None of which actually happened.
My guess is their a$$.
You probably won't. You probably won't find any real data on the 5000 species becoming extinct each year either. When I here this kind of thing, I always challenge the guy spewing it. They usually can come up with a single species let alone 5000 a year. Things like this just prove to me more and more that environmentalism is a cult religion.
Are you serious? OK I’ll try to be nice.Why don’t polar bears just swim there? It’s a big deal to swim across from England to France across the English Channel because hardly anybody can do that.Can any living being swim from Alaska’s northern coast to Antarctica?No.Physically impossible. Point number 2)Global warming is only affecting the Antarctic peninsula with barely any melting on the rest of the continent.Ice melting down south is happening MUCH more slowly.In 100 years there may be no ice above the Arctic Circle while Antartica would remain basically unchanged.
EXACTLY! This is a bad idea.TWO populations would go extinct.Penguins aren’t used to dealing with land based predators.At first the Polar Bears would have a field day and get fat off of the penguins.Eventually the Polar Bears would wipe out the Penguin population and they would all starve to death.That is unless there are seals that the bears are used to hunting that inhabit the Antarctic shore.If not we would have to import THOSE seals as well.If not then Polar Bears would starve to death and become extinct.At best we would prolong the existence of these bears and they would only exist in zoos for a while and become extinct like the Tasmanian Tiger,which spent the tail end of it’s existence as a zoo animal.
And I imagine that whatever the seals eat would feel an impact as well. Remember when it was all the rage to “save the seals”? I’m guessing the polar bears stole their press agent.
